Sam Burns is only 29 but he is now a highly experienced pro with almost 200 starts on the PGA Tour since joining the paid ranks in 2017.
In that time, the man from Shreveport has won five titles on the US circuit including a WGC, and he has grown into a genuine Major contender in recent years.

Burns also picked up around $2.5m in the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs, where he finished 7th, and another $990,000 for his 9th-place finish in 2023.
FedEx Cup bonus money does not count in the official total, though, and neither do his endorsement earnings.
Burns has sponsors including Callaway Golf, Mastercard, ADP, RBC, NetJets, Raising Cane’s, Peter Millar and Payntr Golf.
So with in excess of $35m in ‘official’ PGA Tour earnings, a few million extra via FedEx Cup bonuses and a strong list of sponsors, it’s safe to say Burns’ total career earnings are likely over $50m.
